It's interesting they do it that way. I've often thought money based punishments are extremely unfair as they have such different effects on different people. An $80 speeding ticket is a big chunk of money for some people, but many can totally blow it off. It's inherently a poor way of punishing people. I'd rather they just used a purely point based system, where if you got too many you just lose your license or something like that.

For that matter, how is it fair that if you're wealthy enough to pay off your entire bail when you're being charged with a crime, you get it all back, but if you're poorer and have to use a bail bondsman, you lose a big percentage of it? Just a related issue.
